"Hello"
"Is your daddy home?" he asked.
"May I talk with him?"
The child whispered "No".
Surprised, and wanting to talk to an adult, the boss asked, "Is your mother there?"
"Yes".
"May I talk with her?"
Again the small voice whispered, "No."
Hoping there was somebody with whom he could leave a message, the boss asked, "Is anyone else there?"
"Yes," whispered the child, "A policeman."
Wondering what a cop would be doing at the employee's home, he said, "May I speak with the policeman?"
"No, he's busy", whispered the child.
"Busy doing what?"
"Talking to Mommy and Daddy and the fireman." came the whispered rejoinder.
Growing more worried as he heard what sounded like a helicopter in the earpiece
of the phone, the boss asked, "What is that noise?"
"A helicopter," answered the whispering voice.
"What is going on there?" demanded the boss, now truly apprehensive.
Again, whispering, the child answered, "The search team just landed from a
helicopter."
Alarmed, concerned and very frustrated the boss asked, "What are they searching for?"
Still whispering, the young voice replied with a muffled giggle, "Me."
